In La Sale county. Then there Is the re.

excellent shape. There is the Republican,
another pretty fair sort Of an organ. The
Globe, ditto, and two very fair German or.
gans that are very popular with our German
citizens. Then there is the Cslr Organ,
which is terribly out Of tune. II plays but
one tune, the one to the words "what sheol

to include something about the "Hustler
from baskerville" but the organ is sup.
ported by the grimaces Of the monkey, Is
turned by crank, and its neighbors hold
their ears to escape the noise Is the crank
keeps on turning, and the only music is q
discordant shrek, which is cross between
the lEolian murmur Of horse6ddle and the
braying of a government jackass. Besides
the above organs we have church organs,
parlor organs, more hand organs, q lot Of

squeaky mouth organs. Now I'd like to
know what Ottawa wants Of factory to

PERFECTION.

PERFECTION.
II | could take the virtues
or all the girls know
Aud piece them all together
In a pretty little row,
This little string OF virtues
THE faillngs all left OUT
Would make Il girl TO suit me,
haven't any doubt.
But there'd be one little trouble
To all this, for, you see,
She'd be SO like an angel
She wouldn't speak to me;
She'd see mems imperfections,
And they'd annoy her so
She'd have to 90 to Heaven
And lind an angel beau.
II strikes me sort Of funny
The way some poets gush,
And slop their verses over
With barrels full Of slush
About the perfect maiden,
The earthly angel, when
II any girl were perfect
She wouldn't look at them.
The average man Is selfish,
In that he ne'er expects
To reach, himself, the standard
He wants in the gentler sex.
1t sometimes makes me tired
To hear his sickly plant;
He wants to be q devil
And have his wife saint.

MR. WILLIS WALK.

Prof Willis, the Ottawa vielnist, says he

anything about it in the paper, so we won't,
but we think it is ve"y en'erprising in MIR.
Willis to lay tile walk all around his place.
Any stingy man owning corner lot, in need
Of a new walk, would only lay it on two
sides of his house, but Mr.. Willis isn't the
man to save a paltry penny in that way.
Mr.. Willis says that tile walk will last for.
ever, and that is little longer than he ex-
poets to last so he will never have to lay
another walk. When Mr.. Willis gets his
fine, elegant new walk laid, perhaps he will
allow his friends to come over and promen-
ade with him around his house upon this
valuable addition to his property When
last seen, Mr.. Willis was going down town,
